BACKGROUND
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Protective agents that could diminish the injuries induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) are crucial to alleviate the detrimental outcome of stroke. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective roles of lutein in
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between plasma concentrations of antioxidative micronutrients and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in elderly adults.
METHODS
Cross-sectional cohort study.
METHODS
Austrian Stroke Prevention Study, a population-based cohort study on brain
OBJECTIVE
Antioxidants may protect against atherosclerosis and thus prevent cerebrovascular disease. We studied the association between dietary antioxidants and subtypes of stroke.
METHODS
The study cohort consisted of 26 593 male smokers, aged 50 to 69 years, without a history of stroke. They were
BACKGROUND
Antioxidants increase the resistance of low-density lipoprotein to oxidation and may thereby reduce risk for atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether intake of vitamin E, vitamin C, or carotenoids predict risk for total or ischemic stroke.
METHODS
Prospective observational
In a recent prospective observational study, vitamins C and E and beta-carotene did not elicit protective effects on stroke risk. Lutein, however, may elicit such protection. Nevertheless, these nutrients may be important modulators of the outcome after the occurrence of a stroke. At present,
A 20-year old woman presented with acute right hemiplegia 10 weeks after intrauterine fetal death at 34-weeks gestation (G1P0). A brain MRI showed a typical acute infarct in the left middle cerebral artery territory. A CT pulmonary angiography carried out 1 week later for sudden cardiopulmonary
Effects of Chlorella regularis (dried cell powder)--cultured axenically under heterotrophic conditions, and provided as a dietary supplement--and its fractions on the blood pressure, cerebral stroke lesions, and life-span of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP/Izm) were investigated.
BACKGROUND
The antioxidant lutein is suggested as being beneficial to cardiometabolic health because of its protective effect against oxidative stress, but evidence has not systematically been evaluated.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to evaluate systematically the effects of lutein (intake or concentrations)
OBJECTIVE
Intake of fruits and vegetables has been related to lower risk of ischemic stroke, but nutrients responsible for this apparent benefit remain ill-defined. Tocopherols (vitamin E) have also been proposed to be protective.
METHODS
We conducted a prospective, nested case-control analysis
Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases are among the most common causes of death worldwide. Prevention of modifiable risk factors is a cost-effective approach to decrease the risk of stroke. Oxidative stress is regarded as the major flexible operative agent in ischemic brain damage. This review
Lutein and zeaxanthin are xanthophyll carotenoids found particularly in dark-green leafy vegetables and in egg yolks. They are widely distributed in tissues and are the principal carotenoids in the eye lens and macular region of the retina. Epidemiologic studies indicating an inverse relationship
An association between ischemic stroke and increased oxidative stress has been suggested from animal studies. However, there is a lack of evidence with respect to this association in humans. Here, the time course of plasma levels of six carotenoids, which are lipophilic micronutrients with
OBJECTIVE
Dietary supplements have been proposed as a mechanism to improve health and prevent disease.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if supplementing diet with long-chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or with macular xanthophylls results in a reduced rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
METHODS
The
OBJECTIVE
To study the association between cognitive status and plasma concentrations of various antioxidants in middle-aged and older individuals without neuropsychiatric disease.
METHODS
Evaluation of cross-sectional data from a cohort study.
METHODS
The Austrian Stroke Prevention Study.

BACKGROUND
Emerging evidence suggests a possible role of lycopene in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
We examined whether plasma lycopene concentrations in the Physicians' Health Study were associated with CVD in a prospective, nested, case-control
